landlord paid $1850 to lodge an eviction against a tenant last month, to drop it three days later. He filed it before finding out that the apartment was empty anyway. [21:05] IsambardPrince I think I'd pay Chris $50 to go down there and check the apartment out before spending $1850 filing an aborted eviction case. [21:20] IsambardPrince https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-price-increases-items-tariffs-target-reddit-2025-5 [21:20] TR Bot Images Show Price Increases at Walmart and Target - Business Insider [21:23] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Well, I generally try to avoid buying things. [21:23] IsambardPrince To some extent, what Trump said was true. [21:23] IsambardPrince I mean, stay out of the toys aisle. [21:24] MinceR stay out of the kitchen [21:25] IsambardPrince MinceR, I wonder if Walmart will just cut the toys aisle down or get rid of it. [21:25] MinceR https://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/funny-pictures-5-8-25-35.jpg [21:25] IsambardPrince I mean, I can't see people buying many toys for their kids when the price doubles in a single month sometimes. [21:25] MinceR along with the rest of walmart? [21:26] IsambardPrince MinceR, There's no avoiding a lot of this problem. [21:26] MinceR i doubt it's restricted to toys or walmart [21:26] IsambardPrince But they could maybe blunt it by devoting that floor space to something else. [21:26] IsambardPrince MinceR, I'm glad I have no children. [21:26] IsambardPrince Getting happier about that all the time. [21:26] IsambardPrince Good fucking gravy, I mean, you know $350 for a car seat? [21:27] IsambardPrince $70 for a can of formula. [21:27] IsambardPrince $35 for a week's worth of diapers? [21:27] IsambardPrince $60 for a single toy that was $30 last month? [21:27] IsambardPrince And Trump thinks people are going to have children for a $5,000 one time Nazi Marriage Loan bribe?

[21:43] IsambardPrince Putin will be informed within minutes. [21:43] IsambardPrince MinceR, I was watching Police Story II last night. [21:43] IsambardPrince They told their dynamite supplier they suspected was working with the police that he was going to plant the next bomb (at the police station). [21:44] IsambardPrince He asked why. [21:44] IsambardPrince I said, "Because they're going to blow it up while you're still holding it." [21:44] IsambardPrince And that's exactly what happened. [21:49] IsambardPrince MinceR, Ukraine apparently destroyed about a third of Russia's bomber fleet? [21:50] IsambardPrince Not bad for an operation that only cost them some drones. [21:50] IsambardPrince The Russians don't appear to be in a position to quickly replace anything they lose. [21:50] IsambardPrince Their defense industry is not what it was in the Soviet era. [21:51] IsambardPrince Their military was mostly huge due to a bunch of mothballed Soviet stuff that could be activated. [21:53] MinceR good [21:54] IsambardPrince MinceR, Russia apparently thought that just moving it far away from the front would protect this equipment. [21:55] IsambardPrince MinceR, What I find funny, is that 41 of these things were apparently blown up in one go. [21:55] IsambardPrince These are the ones that Russia likes to use every few months to violate our airspace near Alaska and force us to scramble fighter jets. [21:55] IsambardPrince :) [21:56] IsambardPrince Maybe they'll knock that off for a while. [21:56] IsambardPrince No aircraft to spare just to annoy us? [21:57] IsambardPrince They fly the Tu-95s into the Air Defense Identification Zone for NORAD just to provoke us and remind us they're there. [21:57] IsambardPrince This is not new. It's been going on for over 60 years now. [21:58] IsambardPrince It's sort of like the US sending an aircraft carrier between China and Taiwan every few months. Calling it freedom of navigation. [21:58] IsambardPrince It's reminding the Chinese that we'll use international waters however we see fit. [21:59] IsambardPrince China keeps claiming that it owns Taiwan and so nothing in that area is international waters, and that Taiwan has no right to allow us to use their territorial waters, obviously. [21:59] IsambardPrince But we do it anyway and all China ever does is issue a nasty press release. ● Jun 01 [22:01] IsambardPrince https://www.npr.org/2025/06/01/g-s1-69780/trump-deportations-south-sudan [22:01] TR Bot Third-country deportations ramp up to countries like South Sudan : NPR [22:01] IsambardPrince "The deportation itself did not come as a surprise. Her husband, Tuan Thanh Phan, had been serving about a 25-year prison sentence for first degree murder and second degree assault in 2000 after firing a gun that struck a bystander during what was labeled a gang-related dispute. He was a green card holder, whose lawful permanent residency was revoked during his sentence, in 2009, his wife said. [22:01] IsambardPrince He never walked free. ICE officers picked up from the Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell, Wash., on March 3, his release date, and immediately put him into deportation proceedings. [22:01] IsambardPrince "We've accepted it. We planned for it, and we were looking forward to it," Ngoc Phan said. "And then in the middle of the night, they picked him up and sent him to South Sudan."" [22:01] IsambardPrince --- [22:01] IsambardPrince Who cares? [22:01] IsambardPrince He's a convicted murderer.

[22:27] IsambardPrince The landlord's already ripping me the hell off. I just drink the water I already get with my rent. Put it through a cheap filter. Tastes perfectly fine. [22:27] IsambardPrince Mandy says that MARISOL is in there all the time buyign Great Value water. [22:28] IsambardPrince I guess Nestle deliveries got too much? [22:28] IsambardPrince That bottled water is two cents an ounce. There's about 17 ounces in a bottle of water, used to be 20 before they indexed it to Metric and used that to rip you off even more. [22:30] IsambardPrince So that means you spend 34 cents a bottle. If I drink 5 bottles a day of this, I pay $1.70 a day to drink water. That's $620.50 x 2 just for two people to drink bottled water. [22:30] IsambardPrince That's more than a month of rent. [22:32] IsambardPrince I remember a comedian in the 90s making fun of people. [22:32] IsambardPrince "Water comes out of every tap for free, they have people paying a buck a bottle for it." [22:33] IsambardPrince Walmart has one of those water refill machines. [22:33] IsambardPrince It has this big ad on it that says "YOUR TAP WATER HAS BEEN HANGING OUT IN SOME PRETTY SEEDY PLACES!" and it shows a water pipe buried in dirt. [22:34] IsambardPrince Yeah, let's fork over hundreds to Walmart every year for some sketchy vending machine. [22:34] IsambardPrince California actually inspected a bunch of them randomly. [22:34] IsambardPrince They found mold and slime growing in the systems, from not even being serviced. [22:34] IsambardPrince Coliform bacteria. [22:34] IsambardPrince All kinds of gross stuff. [22:35] IsambardPrince So you think you're paying to solve this problem, then you get mold, slime, and bacteria in your water from the stupid machine at the grocery store.

[22:48] IsambardPrince If the rest of Europe won't fight, they need to make sure Russia is not positioned to invade them later. [22:49] IsambardPrince And that means helping Ukraine destroy as much of the Russian military assets as possible. [22:50] MinceR not sure about that, muscovy already has several puppet states in europe [22:50] MinceR who knows if/when and which of them will attack one of the less shitty countries in europe [22:58] IsambardPrince MinceR, Someone on Reddit posted Hyundai plans to raise prices due to tariffs. [22:58] IsambardPrince I responded: "I didn't know there was a tariff on the plastic and hopes and dreams that hold their alleged cars together." ● Jun 01 [23:02] IsambardPrince MinceR, Any car parts that aren't already plastic will be thanks to TACO Man's steel and aluminum tariffs. [23:03] MinceR :> [23:04] IsambardPrince MinceR, His tariffs will probably lead to less steel and aluminum jobs everywhere, including the US. [23:05] IsambardPrince The US suppliers will raise prices and then buyers will cancel orders and try to look for cheaper materials to avoid that. [23:05] IsambardPrince This is very predictable. [23:06] IsambardPrince I'm certain that the markets will adjust. You know, if his tariffs on metal cause the price of a lawnmower to go up $150, those manufacturers will be looking to replace that front cover with plastic instead of aluminum.

[23:58] IsambardPrince The dog doesn't chase the cats. The cats live in the heated chicken coop and don't eat the chickens. [23:59] IsambardPrince It's easier to get dogs, cats, and chickens to live together than it is to make two humans with different opinions on politics and religion do the same thing.
